BACKGROUND

Devices and methods for delivery of desired components to a site of interest remain a growing need. A variety of methods and routes of administration have been developed to deliver pharmaceuticals or diagnostics, such as small molecular drugs, imaging agents and/or other biologically active compounds (e.g., peptides, hormones, proteins, and enzymes) and many routes of administration are known for delivering desired pharmaceuticals to a patient. However, as greater knowledge is learned regarding toxicity of drugs and the ability to elicit specific responses by delivery of a pharmaceutical only to a specific portion of the body, controlled release of pharmaceuticals after their administration has become a highly important area of research.

For example, the therapeutic efficacy of active agents is often limited by the inability to selectively deliver the drugs to the cell, e.g., most of the currently available anticancer drugs are highly cytotoxic and can kill normal cells along with cancerous cells. Thus, when high doses of drugs are used, there can be severe side effects. As a result, most of the currently used anticancer drugs have a rather limited therapeutic index. Such a limit on dosage can prevent complete eradication of cancer cells in a patient, and may lead to recurrence of the cancer in many patients. The limit in dosage can also predispose the recurring cancer to drug resistance, thus worsening the prognosis for the patient.

More generally, technologies which can specifically deliver drugs to affected tissues in diseases involving viral, bacterial, inflammatory, metabolic, and neurologic imbalances represent an important therapeutic breakthrough. Often, therapeutics for these diseases very strictly requires a large therapeutic window to be considered for clinical study. Introduction of moieties which deliver these therapeutics directly and specifically to the diseased tissues or to the disease-causing agents lowers the specificity requirements of the therapeutic itself. Accordingly, there is an ongoing need for new therapeutic approaches that permit the selective delivery of active agents to diseased cells, thereby providing improved therapeutic indices.

In another aspect, silanol based payloads and/or drug conjugated disclosed herein may be formulated together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier provided. In particular, the present disclosure provides silanol based payloads and/or drug conjugates disclosed herein formulated together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. These formulations include those suitable for oral, rectal, topical, buccal, parenteral (e.g., subcutaneous, intramuscular, intradermal, or intravenous), rectal, vaginal, or aerosol administration, although the most suitable form of administration in any given case will depend on the degree and severity of the condition being treated and on the nature of the particular compound being used. For example, disclosed compositions may be formulated as a unit dose, and/or may be formulated for oral, i.v., or subcutaneous administration.

Exemplary pharmaceutical compositions may be used in the form of a pharmaceutical preparation, for example, in solid, semisolid, spray-dried, dispersion, or liquid form, which contains one or more of the compounds, as an active ingredient, in admixture with an organic or inorganic carrier or excipient suitable for external, enteral, or parenteral applications. The active ingredient may be compounded, for example, with the usual non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers for tablets, pellets, capsules, suppositories, solutions, emulsions, suspensions, and any other form suitable for use. The active object compound is included in the pharmaceutical composition in an amount sufficient to produce the desired effect upon the process or condition of the disease.

For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient may be mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier, e.g., conventional tableting ingredients such as corn starch, lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate or gums, and other pharmaceutical diluents, e.g., water, to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound, or a non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules.

In solid dosage forms for oral administration (capsules, tablets, pills, dragees, powders, granules and the like), the subject composition is mixed with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate, and/or any of the following: (1) fillers or extenders, such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and/or silicic acid; (2) binders, such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, sucrose and/or acacia; (3) humectants, such as glycerol; (4) disintegrating agents, such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate; (5) solution retarding agents, such as paraffin; (6) absorption accelerators, such as quaternary ammonium compounds; (7) wetting agents, such as, for example, acetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate; (8) absorbents, such as kaolin and bentonite clay; (9) lubricants, such a talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof, and (10) coloring agents. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the compositions may also comprise buffering agents.

The enantiomers and diastereomers may be designated by the symbols “(+),” “(−).” “R” or “S,” depending on the configuration of substituents around the stereogenic carbon atom, but the skilled artisan will recognize that a structure may denote a chiral center implicitly. Geometric isomers, resulting from the arrangement of substituents around a carbon-carbon double bond or arrangement of substituents around a cycloalkyl or heterocyclic ring, can also exist in the compounds. The symbol

denotes a bond that may be a single, double or triple bond as described herein. Substituents around a carbon-carbon double bond are designated as being in the “Z” or “E” configuration wherein the terms “Z” and “E” are used in accordance with IUPAC standards. Unless otherwise specified, structures depicting double bonds encompass both the “E” and “Z” isomers. Substituents around a carbon-carbon double bond alternatively can be referred to as “cis” or “trans,” where “cis” represents substituents on the same side of the double bond and “trans” represents substituents on opposite sides of the double bond. The arrangement of substituents around a carbocyclic ring can also be designated as “cis” or “trans.” The term “cis” represents substituents on the same side of the plane of the ring and the term “trans” represents substituents on opposite sides of the plane of the ring. Mixtures of compounds wherein the substituents are disposed on both the same and opposite sides of plane of the ring are designated “cis/trans.”

Individual enantiomers and diastereomers of the compounds can be prepared synthetically from commercially available starting materials that contain asymmetric or stereogenic centers, or by preparation of racemic mixtures followed by resolution methods well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. These methods of resolution are exemplified by (1) attachment of a mixture of enantiomers to a chiral auxiliary, separation of the resulting mixture of diastereomers by recrystallization or chromatography and liberation of the optically pure product from the auxiliary, (2) salt formation employing an optically active resolving agent, (3) direct separation of the mixture of optical enantiomers on chiral liquid chromatographic columns or (4) kinetic resolution using stereoselective chemical or enzymatic reagents. Racemic mixtures can also be resolved into their component enantiomers by well-known methods, such as chiral-phase gas chromatography or crystallizing the compound in a chiral solvent. Stereoselective syntheses, a chemical or enzymatic reaction in which a single reactant forms an unequal mixture of stereoisomers during the creation of a new stereocenter or during the transformation of a pre-existing one, are well known in the art. Stereoselective syntheses encompass both enantio- and diastereoselective transformations. For examples, see Carreira and Kvaerno, Classics in Stereoselective Synthesis, Wiley-VCH: Weinheim, 2009.

The compounds disclosed herein can exist in solvated as well as unsolvated forms with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like. In one embodiment, the compound is amorphous. In one embodiment, the compound is a polymorph. In another embodiment, the compound is in a crystalline form.

Also embraced are isotopically labeled compounds which are identical to those recited herein, except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the compounds include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine and chlorine, such as ²H, ³H, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁸O, ¹⁷O, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁵S, ¹⁸F, ¹⁰B, and ³⁶Cl, respectively. For example, a compound may have one or more H atom replaced with deuterium.

Certain isotopically-labeled disclosed compounds (e.g., those labeled with ³H and ¹⁴C) are useful in compound and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated (i.e., ³H) and carbon-14 (i.e., ¹⁴C) isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e., ²H) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability (e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements) and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. Isotopically labeled compounds can generally be prepared by following procedures analogous to those disclosed in the Examples herein by substituting an isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent.

The term “prodrug” refers to compounds that are transformed in vivo to yield a disclosed compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate or solvate of the compound. The transformation may occur by various mechanisms (such as by esterase, amidase, phosphatase, oxidative and or reductive metabolism) in various locations (such as in the intestinal lumen or upon transit of the intestine, blood, or liver). Prodrugs are well known in the art (for example, see Rautio, Kumpulainen, et al, Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 2008, 7, 255). For example, if a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, or solvate of the compound contains a carboxylic acid functional group, a prodrug can comprise an ester formed by the replacement of the hydrogen atom of the acid group with a group such as (C₁₋₈s)alkyl, (C₂₋₁₂)alkanoyloxymethyl, 1-(alkanoyloxy)ethyl having from 4 to 9 carbon atoms, 1-methyl-1-(alkanoyloxy)-ethyl having from 5 to 10 carbon atoms, alkoxycarbonyloxymethyl having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms, 1-(alkoxycarbonyloxy)ethyl having from 4 to 7 carbon atoms, 1-methyl-1-(alkoxycarbonyloxy)ethyl having from 5 to 8 carbon atoms, N-(alkoxycarbonyl)aminomethyl having from 3 to 9 carbon atoms, 1-(N-(alkoxycarbonyl)amino)ethyl having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms, 3-phthalidyl, 4-crotonolactonyl, gamma-butyrolacton-4-yl, di-N,N—(C₁-C₂)alkylamino(C₂-C₃)alkyl (such as β-dimethylaminoethyl), carbamoyl-(C₁-C₂)alkyl, N,N-di(C₁-C₂)alkylcarbamoyl-(C₁-C₂)alkyl and piperidino-, pyrrolidino- or morpholino(C₂-C₃)alkyl.

Similarly, if a compound contains an alcohol functional group, a prodrug can be formed by the replacement of the hydrogen atom of the alcohol group with a group such as (C₁₋₆)alkanoyloxymethyl, 1-((C₁₋₆)alkanoyloxy)ethyl, 1-methyl-1-((C₁₋₆)alkanoyloxy)ethyl (C₁₋₆)alkoxycarbonyloxymethyl, N—(C₁₋₆)alkoxycarbonylaminomethyl, succinoyl, (C₁₋₆)alkanoyl, α-amino(C₁₋₄)alkanoyl, arylacyl and α-aminoacyl, or α-aminoacyl-α-aminoacyl, where each α-aminoacyl group is independently selected from the naturally occurring L-amino acids, P(O)(OH)₂, —P(O)(O(_(C1)-C₆)alkyl)₂ or glycosyl (the radical resulting from the removal of a hydroxyl group of the hemiacetal form of a carbohydrate).

If a compound incorporates an amine functional group, a prodrug can be formed, for example, by creation of an amide or carbamate, an N-acyloxyalkyl derivative, an (oxodioxolenyl)methyl derivative, an N-Mannich base, imine, or enamine. In addition, a secondary amine can be metabolically cleaved to generate a bioactive primary amine, or a tertiary amine can be metabolically cleaved to generate a bioactive primary or secondary amine. For examples, see Simplicio et al., Molecules 2008, 13, 519 and references therein.

Example 52: Imaging Study Demonstrating Endocytosis and Si—O Cleavage

Example 51 as shown above contains a folate receptor targeting ligand, a spacer moiety, a siloxane core and two different fluorescent dyes (BODIPY and rhodamine) positioned on either side of the siloxane core. Folate receptor alpha expressing KB cells were grown in folic acid free media. The cells were incubated for 30 minutes on ice with 50 nM of Example 51, washed with fresh culture medium and then incubated in media at 37° C. for the desired length of time. The fate of both dyes was simultaneously monitored using confocal microscopy using Zeiss LSM 780 laser scanning microscope. Imaging studies revealed that at t=0 the intact Example 51 was bound to the folate receptor on the cell surface as visualized by colocalization of red and green signals and overlap of fluorescent dyes on the cell surface, thereby showing Folate Receptors-specific binding of the silicon based conjugate. At t=30 min, endocytosis of intact Example 51 into the cell was observed as visualized by BODIPY and rhodamine fluorescent signals and overlap of dyes inside the cells (i.e., inside the endosomes). At t=30 min, cleavage of the siloxane core was observed as visualized by color separation of the two fluorescent dyes.

Example 53: Cellular Data

Washout protocol: KB cells in culture were seeded in white clear bottom 96-well tissue culture plate at a density of 5,000 cells per well in a folate free RPMI media with 10% FBS a day prior to compound addition. Cells were counted visually with a hemocytometer and diluted accordingly to obtain the desired density. Cells were allowed to incubate for 24 hours in a humidified CO₂ atmosphere in an incubator at 37° C. The spent media was aspirated and replenished with 100 μL of fresh media containing a 3-fold serial dilution of compound with concentrations ranging from 0.3 to 2000 nM and with a final DMSO concentration of 0.1%. Blank wells without compound were also treated with media containing 0.1% DMSO. Cells were incubated for 2 h and washed 4 times with fresh media. The plates were incubated for an additional 70 h in an incubator at 37° C. in 100 μL fresh folate free RPMI. At the end of 70 h, the spent media was removed and cells were washed once with fresh media and then suspended 100 μL of PBS. 100 μL of constituted Cell titer-glo reagent was added to each well and luminescence was recorded with a VICTOR plate reader according to manufacturers' protocol.

72 hour incubation protocol: The CellTiter-Glo (CTG) assay (Promega) was used to measure cell viability in various different cell lines included KB cells obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). Only cells that showed greater than 95% viability were used. For this assay, 5,000 cells per well were plated in a 96-well tissue culture treated plate in RPMI 1640 medium (ThermoFisher Scientific) containing 5% FBS. Cells were allowed to settle at 37° C. in a humidified CO2 incubator for 24 hours. Cells were dosed with compound or vehicle control in duplicate for 72 hours at 37° C. in a humidified CO2 incubator. After the 72 hour dosing period, the CTG assay was performed according to the manufacturer's specifications. Luminescence was read using a Victor X5 (PerkinElmer) plate reader. Data was analyzed using Prism software and was normalized to the vehicle control.
